Several wild cedar waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) fell from a rooftop following ingestion of overwintered hawthorn (Crataegus sp.) pommes. At necropsy, there was pericardial hemorrhage, although no microscopic abnormalities were found. Ethanol was present in crop contents (380 ppm) and in the livers (238 and 989 ppm). The cause of death was attributed to hemorrhage following a fall precipitated by ethanol intoxication.
几只野生雪松太平鸟（Bombycilla cedrorum）在食用了越冬的山楂（Crataegus sp.）果实后从屋顶坠落。尸检时发现有心包出血，但未发现微观异常。嗉囊内容物（380 ppm）和肝脏中（238和989 ppm）存在乙醇。死亡原因归因于乙醇中毒引发坠落导致的出血。
